Kaffir lime leaves are the leaves of the Citrux hystrix. They are often used in Nyonya cooking, as well as in Thai, Laotian and Cambodian cuisine. Kaffir lime leaves provides a distinct aroma to Nyonya dishes such as curry kapitan, perut ikan and otak-otak, to name a few. Tomyam, a Thai-inspired dish, also makes good use of kaffir lime leaves. The name of the fruit in Hokkien is thaiko-kam, literally meaning leprosy-lime, in reference to the bumpy exterior of the skin resembling leprosy.
